Care to share these primary sources? You claiming wealthy people seeking to take over colonies as opposed to the middle to upper class rising against the British government is a big claim. Especially since the wealthy in America would have had control over the colonies, they just sought to be represented. Therefore this claim seems nonsensical.

It's not just taxes it's no representation. Not everyone could vote. Those that owned land could and wanted representation.

Are you arguing that terrorism against the British empire was a bad thing? You appear to be arguing that the wealth sought to push against the British for control over the colonies, which is essentially the basic American origin story.

Not trying to fight with you, would love to read a primary source that shows otherwise. As opinionated of the current state of affairs as I am, I still believe in the words that my ancestor spoke stating give me liberty or give me death...

Most of them were in my college texts and I don't care to dig them out.

You are clearly struggling with a lot of propaganda you have been fed. Good luck with that.
